With the party already beginning in an around Elland Road, all eyes were on Turf Moor where the Blades needed to win to maintain their chances of automatic promotion and drag out the race for another week.

“We will make sure that this Easter Monday will last for one or two more days. It’s difficult on such an emotional day to reflect too much, but it was a long road. It’s not easy to stabilise the ship after relegation and to deal with that.
“We played fantastic last season, with 90 minutes, before the heart-breaking game at Wembley, but to show resilience and keep going, we deserve today to celebrate.”
